added pics 2 weeks, 1 month and 2 month respective after 2nd procedure for crown/back coverage

attached pics from 2nd operation

I decided to combine both my posts into one to track full results. I am now about 1 1/2 months post 2nd op. My second procedure with Doctor Panine, was for another 3500, but ended up with 3,473 grafts. I guess my donor area is pretty much done, save a possible smaller FUE procedure in the future. My goal was to reinforce my hairline and get decent coverage to about the top 75% or so of my head and am petty confident DR.Panine did the job. In my first procedure DR.Panine did a nice job restoring a decent hairline for me, it will be interesting to see the entire finished product in the coming months. Here are post op pictures and a picture of about a week and a half post up, the red areas on my scalp were dense packed and grafts were sprinkled in the opposite ends of the denser packer areas as I had more hair there. I am hoping this will give me coverage close to what DR.Panine did for my hairline throughout the first 2/3rd or so of my scalp, the finisterede I'm on seemed to have done a decent job covering some of the back crown of my area that was left alone and while thin is at least covered to a decent extent.

Hello, Im almost 3 weeks post op with my second procedure with Doctor Panine, went in for a 3500 procedure and ended up with 3,473 grafts. I guess my donor area is pretty much done, save a possible smaller FUE procedure in the future. My goal was to reinforce my hairline and get decent coverage to about the top 2/3 rds of my head and am petty confident DR.Panine did the job. In my first procedure DR.Panine did a nice job restoring a decent hairline for me, it will be interesting to see the entire finsihed product in the coming months. Here is the link to my first procedure post, Ill import some of those pictures to this one later. http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/169443-dr-panine-3500-fut-just-under-4-weeks-post-op.html Here are post op pictures and a picture of about a week and a half post up, the red areas on my scalp were dense packed and grafts were sprinkled in the opposite ends of the denser packer areas as I had more hair there.

Bump, added 6 month pics on the first post

5 Months post op, over all really good progress and I am happy, there is a patch on the right side that seemed to be very thin. Today I woke up with a familiar pain, like from the acne when the rest of the hair started growing a few months back. Is it normal to be/feel that distinct of a difference? I literally feel like someone hit me in the head with a hammer right in the spot that had not grown like the rest. I feel some bumps and smaller coarse hair in that area. Is this a normal experience?

Dr. Painine Charged $3.50 per graft, the cost is of course dependent on how many grafts you need/want plus an out of town discount. I highly recommend him and his staff.

2 Months post-op, I suppose I am seeing a little more activity on my grafts then what is normal at this stage, but still feeling the effects of the "Ugly duckling stage" How much longer until I get past that phase....lol

We are a month apart with DR.Panine, I had 6,065 total hairs done on 1/24. You are right DR.Panine, Stuart and staff are top notch. Anxiously awaiting results.

Here is 1 month post op Got my numbers today for the procedure, they were: 1,313 1 hair grafts 1,881 2 hair grafts 330 3 hair grafts total grafts 3,524

Stuart Dr.Painine's right hand man, didn't believe it until he saw the pictures and says it does appear they are growing, I have seen enough progress and more pop out to remain cautiously optimistic that they are sprouting already. I like DR.Panine and staff a lot, as you know they made a very long procedure go as quickly and painless as possible, they take good care of you before, during and after the procedure. If I ever decide to do a second one I would definitely go back there.

Good Afternoon all, Ilurked on the website for a long time and many of your success stories urged me to take the plunge. On January 24th I underwent a 3500+ FUT session with Dr.Panine to restore my hairline after struggling with hair loss for almost 10 years. The procedure though long and sometimes painful was not as bad as I had imagined before becoming more informed here and going through it myself. I highly recommend Dr.Panine and staff for anyone considering this option. They were extremely professional, made me comfortable the whole time and answer any questions or concerns immediately pre, during and post op. They do not forget about you once you have went through the procedure. I was an early shedder, most of my hair shed at about a week and when I saw Stuart at 2 weeks to have the sutures removed he commented about 80% of the graphs had shed at that time. So like many of you that had went through this process I am anxiously awaiting the results. I started taking finasteride (never was on it before) immediately day after the procedure, started using Rogaine foam (tried it about 2 years ago) 1 week post op to hopefully promote faster growth and vitamin B6 supplements. So today not quite 4 weeks after, I am seeing very small hairs starting to pop out, best I can compare it to is when you see a hair first pop out after shaving your face or head. I was fairly certain this is new growth and it's got me very excited, I thought is it possible that the hair would start to grow a couple of weeks after shedding? So I sent a picture to Stuart today and to his amazement it does appear that my transplanted hairs are starting to grow. I added a picture today, which is 3 days shy of 4 months post op. I added Pictures from my 6 Month follow up with Stuart. I am extremely happy with the results.

Good Afternoon all, First time post, lurked on the website for a long time and many of your sucess stories urged me to take the plunge.

The procedure though long and somtimes painful was not as bad as I had imagined before becoming more informed here and going through it mself. I highly recomend Dr.Panine and staff for anyone considering this option. I will create a blog with photos and updates but had a quick question. I was an early shedder, most of my hairs shed at about a week and when I saw Stuart at 2 weeks to have the sutures removed he said about 80% of the graphs had shed at that time. So like many of you that had went through this process I am anxiously awaiting the results.

So today not quite 4 weeks after, I am seeing very small hairs starting to pop out, best I can compare it to is when you see a hair first pop out after shaving your face or head. I am fairly certain this is new growth and it's got me very excited, is it possible that the hair would start to grow a couple of weeks after shedding? They do not look like some of the grafts that stayed becuase those were a little longer. Just looking for others thoughts and experinces on this. Thank You
